cats follow me
as I walk the nightshift
they know the crinkling sound
of treat packet in pocket
I indulge them
and they leave messages on my pantlegs
for Duke the whiskered king of castle home
I’m a long distance matchmaker
always said i wanted to work outdoors
be at one with animals
okay, I concede
let’s call it a career
What an absolutely delightful little piece! Loved it. Long-distance matchmaker for animals – just what I’d like to be too!
This is great!
The cats “leaving messages” on the pant legs is a fantastic image of the way they rub to beg for treats…
